Hi Kelly
I am another one living with bone mets, which are being treated with IV Bondronat.
Bone mets are easily treated and although you will take time to come round to this way of thinking, there are many of us living with Stage 4 breast cancer who now regard this as a chronic disease. When anything new appears it will be picked up and treated.
This disease has placed few restrictions on my life, just time constraints and having to work around appointment times, and at this stage I'm feeling the best I have felt in years.
Take time for yourself and find a new supportive friend who also has breast cancer through this forum. I have found that although I am still close to my pre-diagnosis friends, they do not understand that this is a life changing disease and even though I look better and feel better, I am not the same person. This journey makes you strong!
Enjoy your family and concentrate on them, not this disease.
With love
